On today’s pod, Joe Patrick dives into what the Falcons schedule looks like the rest of the season and what needs to happen in order for them to make the playoffs. Also, reflecting more on the Falcons new-look offense under Kirk Cousins.
The Falcons finally ended their excruciating five-game losing streak with a 24-10 win over the division-rival Saints in New Orleans. Kirk Cousins led the Falcons revamped offense with Michael Penix out for the season, and the pass-rush continued showing its teeth with another 5-sack performance and set a new franchise record.
The season is an abject disaster, and it goes deeper than coaching. Joe Patrick and Mark Zinno dive into the real reason the Falcons are collapsing. Does the problem start with the organization? What about the doomed Kirk Cousins/Michael Penix Jr. decision? The guys break down the Raheem Morris situation, the Terry Fontenot control debate, and why firing the coach won't fix the Falcons culture.
The Atlanta Falcons are heading to a crossroad as the team is in the midst of a tailspin that’s thrown the future into question. But before we know who the team must choose to be the next head coach, GM, etc. - whenever that may be - the Falcons need to figure out who they are, who they represent, and how to bring pride to a beaten down fanbase.
After the Falcons lose once again to the Carolina Panthers this season, it feels like Raheem Morris’ tenure as Falcons head coach is all but a formality to end at some point in the next couple of months. With the loss, the Falcons drop to 3-7 on the season and with no hope of reaching the playoffs.
The Falcons offensive line is under scrutiny following the team’s 31-25 loss to the Colts in which Michael Penix looked erratic at times. Joe Patrick says fault lies clearly on the offensive line where stunts and delayed blitzes consistently disrupt the pocket. Plus, can Raheem Morris save his job at this point?
The Falcons dropped a heartbreaker in overtime in Berlin Germany to the Indianapolis Colts 31-25. We discuss what went wrong in this game, what has gone wrong under Raheem Morris’s tenure as head coach, and what lies ahead for a team whose season is slipping away.
The Falcons didn’t make a trade as the NFL deadline came and went Tuesday afternoon, but the team did move on from kicker Parker Romo and brought back a familiar OT as the team deals with injuries up front. Plus, Joe Patrick breaks down the logistics of the team’s schedule this week as they head to Germany to play the Colts on Sunday.
Falcons miscues, highlighted by a potential game-tying PAT miss, were enough to cut short a valiant comeback attempt in a 24-23 loss to the Patriots. Joe Patrick breaks down the good (hello Drake London) bad and ugly in a loss that crippled Atlanta’s playoff hopes.
Raheem Morris cut a figure that is squarely under pressure in the wake of his team’s abysmal 34-10 loss at home to the 1-6 Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Joe Patrick talks about the lack of accountability taken by the head coach in his Monday press conference and how the offense lacks a clear identity.
The 2025 season, and Raheem Morris’s tenure as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, was put on notice after another embarrassing performance – this time a 34-10 home loss to the Miami Dolphins. Joe Patrick reacts to the game and where the Falcons go from here.
On today’s pod, Joe Patrick dives into concerning numbers related to Michael Penix and the Falcons offense when pressured. And should this team at least incorporate more under-center formations? Plus, how a key injury to Divine Deablo could greatly affect how Jeff Ulbrich is scheming a resurgent Falcons defense, and the latest on Ray-Ray McCloud.
Joe Patrick recorded his pod after the Falcons’ 20–10 loss to the 49ers on Sunday Night Football. The loss stung not just because of the score, but because Atlanta was dominated by a San Francisco defense missing key starters like Nick Bosa and Fred Warner.
Michael Penix Jr. looked uncomfortable again on the road, completing 21 of 38 passes for 241 yards with several misses on routine throws. The offensive line — particularly Elijah Wilkinson and Matthew Bergeron — struggled to protect him, and Bijan Robinson was bottled up for just 2.9 yards per carry.
On defense, the Falcons couldn’t contain Christian McCaffrey, who repeatedly gashed the interior front. Joe noted Divine Deablo’s injury as a turning point, exposing the lack of physicality at linebacker.
Most teams hire offensive play-callers these days, but the Falcons bucked a trend by hiring a “defensive” coach in Raheem Morris, who wasn’t going to call plays. In Year 2, Joe Patrick explains how he’s providing proof of concept. Plus, diving into some great Falcons pressure numbers and should they trade for a WR?

The Falcons corrected course and are back to 2-2 after a 34-27 win over the Washington Commanders at Mercedes-Benz Stadium before the team heads into its bye week. Bijan Robinson and Drake London each went over 100 yards receiving, and four different Falcons found the end zone. Joe Patrick breaks down the win.
